First half dividend of UK£0.016 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of UK£0.016. Ex-date: 20th August 2026 Payment date: 30th September 2026 Dividend yield will be 2.5%, which is about the same as the industry average.

New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 117% Cash payout ratio: 98% Dividend yield: 2.3% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 117% Cash payout ratio: 98% Minor Risks High level of debt (107% net debt to equity). Large one-off items impacting financial results.

Convatec’s Advanced Wound Care innovation is supported by compelling new data from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and real-world studies, with 13 abstracts accepted for publication and presentation at EWMA evaluating outcomes in hard-to-heal wounds across foam, multimodal, nitric oxide-generating dressings, antimicrobial technology and Wound Hygiene. Convatec has launched or secured approvals for five new wound care products since 2022, including: ConvaFoam™: Best-in-class multi-layer foam dressing designed to be repositionable on application to avoid wasted dressing changes. ConvaFoam™ is the only foam dressing that combines three technologies – Aquacel® Hydrofiber®, superabsorber fibers and ConvaTac™ silicone – to deliver superior exudate management with skin friendly adhesion for longer lasting wear time. ConvaNiox™: A solution, shaping a new category in the management of hard-to-heal wounds by combining an advanced dressing technology with a powerful antimicrobial and antibiofilm agent, nitric oxide. ConvaNiox™’s multimodal technology, MultiFusion™, supports the healing of 60% more diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), with 3x faster wound area reduction compared to standard-of-care dressings. Aquacel™ ConvaFiber™: Next-generation, soft, sterile and conformable primary dressing with advanced Hydrofiber® technology resulting in 45% more absorbency (vs Aquacel® Extra™), designed to manage a broad range of acute and chronic wounds. ConvaMatrix™: Recently approved innovative, single use wound matrix - a unique porcine placental-derived technology designed to support the body's natural healing response in DFUs and venous leg ulcers (VLUs). It combines the structural benefits of the placenta with the reproducibility and safety profile of a medical device. ConvaVAC™: First and only Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) system partnered with Aquacel® Hydrofiber® technology utilising a bacterial sequestration and autolytic debridement wound contact layer to control the bioburden whilst delivering NPWT to promote wound healing. This year’s EWMA programme also marks 30 years of Hydrofiber® technology, Convatec’s proprietary wound care platform that underpins the next generation of wound care innovation to help manage the burden of wound care. Almost 1,500,000,000 Aquacel® dressings have been sold worldwide leveraging the technology over the last three decades. As part of the scientific programme at EWMA 2026, Convatec will host a series of symposia to explore emerging evidence from across its Advanced Wound Care portfolio and discuss what it means for real-world clinical practice, including: 6 May 2026 from 16:00 – 17:00: Introducing ConvaNiox™: multimodal, nitric oxide-generating dressing.

Convatec and Eakin Healthcare Introduce Co-Branded Eakin Freeseal Ostomy Seal in North America Expanding the Esenta Family of Accessories Convatec, a medical products and technologies company focused on solutions for the management of chronic conditions, and Eakin Healthcare, a provider of ostomy solutions, announced the launch of eakin freeseal, the thinnest ostomy seal used to help prevent leaks and protect the skin around a stoma. This new co-branded seal is part of the ESENTA family of accessories, available in the United States. Ostomy seals are designed to create a protective layer around the stoma to prevent leakage. Recurrent leakage can lead to skin breakdown and irritation, leading to longer term issues, both physically and emotionally for patients. With approximately 1 million people living with a stoma in the United States, about 90% experience leakage at some point in their journey. The use of ostomy seals can reduce or eliminate leakage, leading to a better quality of life for those living with an ostomy. The eakin freeseal range includes two product lines, eakin freeseal air, and eakin freeseal versa, providing healthcare professionals with versatile options that combine discretion, comfort and high performance. While Convatec currently addresses the patient's needs with the eakin Cohesive seal, eakin freeseal provides healthcare professionals with a wider range of options to meet their clinical needs. The thinner offering, eakin freeseal air has a depth starting at 1.8mm, making it the thinnest seal on the market and is designed to be paired with convex pouches. Eakin freeseal versa is slightly thicker and designed to absorb fluid at the best rate in the market without breaking down, leading to easier removal for the end user. The thinness of this new ostomy seal, together with its composition and design, allows it to absorb up to four times its weight in fluid without breaking down underneath the skin barrier. This high performance, combined with eakin seals’ moldability, makes eakin freeseal a relatable solution to any person living with a stoma immediately post-surgery. Ostomy seals and barriers designed to prevent leakage and skin irritation is one of the largest product categories in the United States and continues to grow at a consistent rate. This co-branded product reflects Convatec and Eakin Healthcare’s ongoing commitment to patients and healthcare professionals to provide choice – working together to provide a better ostomy experience so patients can live the life they want. Integrating eakin seals into the ESENTA range reinforces the importance of using a reliable ostomy seal as part of the customers skincare routine. New Risk • Mar 13
New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results.

If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses.

Convatec Launches New Esteem Body with Leak Defense Convatec announced that it has launched Esteem Body™ with Leak Defense™ in the United States. The use of soft convexity ostomy barriers, starting post-surgery, is a growing practice fueled in part by global obesity, which has nearly tripled since 1975. The trend has driven abdominal topography changes and related challenges for ostomy care management, such as skin folds and complicated abdominal contours. Convatec's new offering to address this growing patient need is a comprehensive, one-piece, soft convexity ostomy system portfolio designed to fit a full range of body types and stoma shapes. The portfolio includes drainable, closed-end, and urostomy pouching solutions. There are five principal characteristics of convexity design, with two of these – 'tension location' and 'convex depth' - serving as significant drivers for achieving clinical goals of stoma protrusion and/or skin flattening. Convatec's Esteem Body™ offers eight different combinations of these key characteristics, with four 'tension locations' (split centrally and peripherally) across two different 'convex depths'. This range gives greater choice and provides the healthcare provider and ostomate the ability to achieve the best possible fit, given that each person living with an ostomy is unique. Leak Defense™ refers to the exclusive combination of Convatec's gold-standard adhesives (Durahesive® and Modified Stomahesive®) coupled with the comprehensive, soft convexity range, which together are designed to adapt to the body for a secure seal that can help prevent leaks and achieve a predictable wear time. The product also offers Convatec's new 'body' pouch, which comes in a patented '8-shape' that has been designed to sag less as it fills. The soft yet water-repellent 'flocking' material, that covers both sides of the pouch, is a warm gray color that hides content, even when wet, and is also discreet, even when worn under white clothing. The flocking was selected to optimise the functionality and discretion of Convatec's new, modern-looking and feeling pouch design. Convatec has recently published Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations that help visualize how both magnitude and location, of the tension applied to the ostomy and its surrounding multi-layer tissue, change in accordance with the product selected. It was clear how both tension location and convex depth are key contributors, working together with all convexity characteristics to achieve clinical stoma management goals. The FEA work is the foundation for the scientific and translational work Convatec is doing in ostomy care, and upon which research will be expanded to support clinicians and ostomates.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (18% operating cash flow to total debt).
